In major cities, residents have discovered that the "efficient" routes suggested by navigation apps like Waze are ruining the quiet of residential neighborhoods. In response, some communities have engaged in physical sabotage—placing cones on streets or reporting fake accidents to trick the algorithm into diverting traffic elsewhere. This is a direct conflict between digital efficiency and neighborhood quality of life, and the humans are using the algorithm’s own logic against it.
